Open
The Borthwick's archive searchrooms are open Monday to Friday 9.15am - 4.45pm. To contact the searchrooms ring (01904) 321166. Although an appointment is not essential we do get very busy sometimes, especially in the microform room. We advise booking if you want to guarantee a space, especially if you are travelling a distance to visit us.

During term-time we are also open late on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
